Publishing Services

Everything a book needs, under one roof.

Editorial, design, production, distribution, and launch — handled by the same team, at a fair rate for independent authors. Services are quoted individually or bundled into a publishing agreement.

Editorial Review

A thorough evaluation from a working editor — market fit, voice, structure, and a written report you can act on.

Developmental Editing

Story structure, pacing, character, and content guidance. We work chapter-by-chapter with the author, not around them.

Copy Editing

Line-level grammar, punctuation, style, and consistency. House style applied without erasing the author's voice.

Proofreading

The final read. Typography, orphans and widows, running heads, and every last comma before print.

Cover Design

Custom covers designed to sit on a real shelf — front, spine, and back — with genre-aware typography and imagery.

Interior Formatting

Print-ready and eBook-ready typesetting. Readable, considered, and built for the format the book actually lives in.

ISBN Registration

Publishing identifiers, library records, and metadata handled properly so your book is findable everywhere.

Distribution

Worldwide print and eBook distribution through major retailers, and a dedicated shelf on Books by Behnke.

Marketing Support

Launch planning, positioning, and promotional assistance — right-sized for an independent list, not a factory rollout.

Fair pricing, honest work

We built Behnke Publishing to help independent authors publish without being priced out.
